Help Censored Users, Run a Tor Bridge

mda · December 29, 2021, 1:47am

Will the Golden Gate Kit be backfilled in case bridges do not sustain the requested level of quality for the entire duration?

Here are my bridges up and running!

Nickname - Metrics Link

Kyoshi - Relay Search

Korra - Relay Search

Yangchen - FAFB8A6908BB6D9CE0522C0A9D91B3BA4518E44D (I can only post two links as a new user so here is the Fingerprint of the 3rd Bridge)

I wonder are there still Helix kits left? I might just have to add two more then

Late to the party but here’s my new bridge:

I noticed a big dropoff in users on my first bridge, after 22 Dec 2021 about 100 users per day were lost: daily users dropped from 110-120 to only 10-20 per day:

Is this related to new censorship or other measures? It’s troubling to see this happened within a week after the new bridge was started. I’m open for suggestions how to remedy this.

In the meantime I’ve spun up a second bridge as I understand you can run two on a singe IP, so here is the second hash:

Yes, Russia government is enumerating and blocking Tor bridges.

You can rotate your bridge IP address. Or, if you’re running your bridge in a cloud provider, just destroy the instance and deploy again.

Russia is blocking by IP address, so a second bridge with the same IP address and different port won’t help here.

keen · January 4, 2022, 10:41pm

Thanks @gus, unfortunately I have no means to change/rotate my IP address. So there is little I can do, only keep the bridge online and hope that users in other countries will find it.

Hi @bist Thanks for your Bridges & welcome to the Tor Project Forum

pcisloth · January 7, 2022, 11:40am

Still trying to figure out how to put the docker container on a secondary IP (with NAT)
But most already work as intended.

Hi there,

In the effort of deploying obfs4 bridges for the community we are sharing our Ansible role that allowed us to deploy multiple nodes (~20) :

For now it is only available on Debian but we will make it available for other distributions.

Feel free to give us some feedbacks

gus · January 13, 2022, 9:04pm

Hello everyone!

The campaign was closed last Friday, on January 7th. Thanks everyone for joining us and fighting online censorship!
I’m answering participants who contacted us on frontdesk email, checking their bridges and which reward they are qualified. If you didn’t get in touch with us, please reach out to frontdesk@torproject.org as soon as possible!
Next step, I will publish a new blog post talking about the campaign, rewards, and sharing some stats.

Just basic and preliminary campaign stat:

We had 1252 bridges online when we started the campaign (November 17th, 2021).
On January 7th, there were 2330 bridges online!

Hi, this is my new forum account.
I run torrelay selflessly. It’s nice that you can get a T-shirt with the tor logo
you can publicly promote our community of two million
I’ve sent an email to forntdesk for all the bridge lines.
